Film set catering in Adur, cooked to order
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. Whether it is crew morale days and shoots on location, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
Rural locations near Adur can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Adur
Is Adur close to London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for crew.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can you work to the call sheet?
Yes. Give us a contact for changes, and we will adjust where possible.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Can the van come to Adur?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Adur. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
What the van needs
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space in front of the hatch
- A clear route to base
- Light near the van if needed
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with sandwiches on set, hot fish and chips is a real lunch. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
Why us?
- Quick service from the hatch
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Something for crew to gather round

The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Light in Adur lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Have a level parking spot ready

Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Name a contact in the production office
- Flag any coeliac crew
Tell us if supporting artists are eating.
Plan bins at the unit base.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Planning a shoot in Adur
Adur is about 1 mile north-west of Shoreham-by-Sea, in West Sussex. For a shoot in Adur, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields. Adur is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover. Our bookings stretch from Adur to Brighton (about 7 miles away).
Among the historic houses close to Adur are Portslade Manor (3.2 miles east). Period locations like these typically keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early. For cast and crew travelling by train, the nearest station is Shoreham-By-Sea station, about 1.5 miles south-east. With the sea within about 2 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base, so plan where crew will queue.
We serve shoots across the BN43 and BN15 postcode area and the streets around it. From Steyning Road, Coombes Road and Mill Hill or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. If your venue is just outside Adur, we also cover Old Shoreham (1 mile south), Shoreham-by-Sea (1 mile south-east), Castle Town (2 miles north), Kingston by Sea (2 miles east) and Southwick (3 miles south-east). Further out, we also take the van to Horsham (15 miles north), Worthing (5 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (13 miles north-east), Burgess Hill (10 miles north-east), Littlehampton (11 miles west) and Rustington (10 miles west).
Other landmarks nearby include Steyning Museum (2.9 miles north-west) and Old Castle (4.9 miles south-west). Within reach you will find Lancing Ring and Mill Hill.
